Yeah. I would be happy to wander through and add a quick blurb about
the environment variables to the rest of the bin/ tree. However, I
think you're right, that it is a little too verbose. I couldn't come up
with a better way to phrase it. I suppose it might be better to leave
it out. My original aim was to make sure that the --help output
included the use of a directory for -h.
Hm. Alternatively, something like mpg123's --longhelp comes to mind.
Does anyone else see a need for something like that?

Against my better judgment, I'll bite. 'Scuze me?
